Snap Edge®

Installation Guidelines

Snip & Flex

When creating curves in your paving installation, the webbing on the back of Snap Edge® can be cut with a hacksaw or snipped with garden shears, allowing the edging to bend to the desired angle. This patented feature allows you to create flowing curves or sharp angles, without compromising on strength.

Place & Spike

As illustrated in the corresponding photo, the compacted gravel base should be extended 6" beyond the desired area of pavers to accommodate the Snapedge®. The edging can be spiked down using 10" landscape spikes. Spikes should be placed approximately 1' apart in straight sections and 6" apart in curved areas.

The Perfect Edge

Using Snap Edge® as a perimeter for your paving stone installation ensures a sharp clean edge, especially on curved areas and around trees. Snap Edge® prevents lateral movement of the pavers, even in extreme freeze-thaw weather conditions or high vehicular traffic.

Cutting Your Edge

Snap Edge® also acts as a perfect guideline for cutting your pavers. As the corresponding photo illustrates, you can run the pavers as close to the edge as possible, then using a brick to mark the curve, you can create precise clean cuts to the individual bricks, ensuring a tight fit and a permanent solution.

Leveling

Snap Edge® can also be used as a tool for creating a level plane. This can easily be achieved by using a notched board as illustrated. This technique allows you to achieve extreme accuracy and levelness, as well as allowing you greater control and accuracy when sloping your paved areas to provide proper drainage.

Out of Sight

Snap Edge® is easy to use, provides a permanent secure edge for your pavers for many years to come. It is capable of withstanding almost any type of vehicular traffic and prevents horizontal movement of your driveway, patio or walkways. Perhaps it's most beautiful feature, is that it accomplishes all this without even being seen.
